Chapter 50: Plaques

Lin Yao pursed his lips, and the little hand holding the handkerchief exhaled towards his face, and said angrily, "Wipe it yourself!"

Xiao Moyao hurriedly took the handkerchief on his face, chuckled, and then wiped the sweat stains on his face with the handkerchief.

After enough trouble, the two of them sat down to eat, Lin Yao sandwiched a piece of shrimp and a few pieces of asparagus into his bowl, and said excitedly, "Taste the asparagus shrimp I made, see if it's delicious." ”

Lin Yao's small hands holding chopsticks were folded together, and her eyes were staring at him brightly.

Seeing the little girl's expectant eyes, Xiao Moyao couldn't help but smile at the corner of his lips, took the shrimp and ate it, chewed it, couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and nodded, "It's delicious." ”

Hearing this, Lin Yao instantly smiled and narrowed her eyes with satisfaction, "If you like it, you can eat more." ”

"Hmm." Xiao Moyao hooked his lips and nodded, and then he looked at the dish he didn't know on the plate and was a little puzzled, he had been in the capital for two years, but he had eaten a lot of delicacies, he knew this shrimp, but he didn't eat this green and crispy dish.

So he asked, "What's this green dish?" ”

"It's asparagus, no one should have eaten it here, asparagus grows less here, I also found it by chance, asparagus clears heat and diuretics, lowers fat and loses weight, and it is best to eat it in summer." Lin Yao replied with a smile.

Xiao Moyao nodded in understanding, although he already knew that his little girl and he were not from the same world, but the gap between the two worlds made him a little powerless, and he secretly thought in his heart that he must know all the things about his little girl in the future.

The shrimp and asparagus were very delicious, Lin Yao couldn't help but eat with a bulging stomach, she slumped in the chair and looked at Xiao Moyao opposite with big eyes and continued to deal with the leftovers.

This son is idle, Lin Yao's attention was attracted by the muscles on Xiao Moyao's body, due to the cover of the table, she could only see a few muscles in her chest and the bulging tendons on her arms, which looked very strong and charming, exuding the charm of a mature man, and the beautiful lines of the chest muscles gradually disappeared in the abdomen under the table, and Lin Yao's big eyes couldn't help but flash a trace of regret.

"Madame, do you want to stand up for your husband and show you?" Xiao Moyao on the other side couldn't help but hook the corners of his lips when he saw his little girl's itchy little expression, if he wasn't still eating, he was afraid that he would really stand up and satisfy his little girl.

Xiao Moyao's low and magnetic voice made Lin Yao blush, she pursed her lips, turned her head to stop looking at him, and hummed in her mouth, "Boring." ”

But the crimson of her white neck and earlobes exposed her shyness at the moment, Xiao Moyao looked at her little girl's cute reaction, and her heart was itchy, and she really wanted to marry her home and take her into her arms immediately.

After eating, Lin Yao waved her paw to Xiao Moyao and went down the mountain, Xiao Moyao looked at her back, and there was a doting color in her narrow eyes, and the angular resolute side face was an indissolvable tenderness.

After a while, he turned to the workers who had just eaten and were still resting, and said, "There will be no lunch break today, and one more hour will be added in the afternoon, and all labor money will be doubled today." ”

Hearing this, the workers still had the sleepiness just now, and they hurriedly cheered and hurried to work hard.

Their proprietor would hunt and give them meat to eat every day, and now that the wages could be doubled, the workers were overjoyed, thinking that they were really lucky to meet such a good proprietor this time, and they also knew that their proprietor was in a hurry to build a house, so they all began to work hard.

——————

In the afternoon, as soon as Lin Yao woke up and washed her face, Liu Meng's shout came from outside the house, "Yaoyao, are you at home?" ”

Lin Yao hurriedly wiped his face and walked out, and saw Liu Meng standing in the yard, seeing Lin Yao coming out, Liu Meng hurriedly walked over with a smile, "Yaoyao, I just told the villagers this morning that after harvesting the thorn roses, the thorn roses that were just delivered to my house already have three hundred catties, do you think you should go over and get them now?" ”

Hearing this, Lin Yao was taken aback, it only took half a day to gather three hundred catties of thorn roses, it seems that the villagers of this peach blossom village are also quite desperate for silver.

Lin Yao, who reacted, nodded slightly, "Okay, I'll go get it with you now." ”

So Lin Yao drove the carriage to Liu Meng's house, and as soon as he arrived at his door, he saw two villagers carrying hemp bags standing outside the courtyard gate of Uncle Bolt's house and talking with Aunt Zhao.

Lin Yao took a closer look and found that she knew Aunt Wang and her husband in the village.

"Eh, her aunt Wang, the Yao girl said that she would ask for three hundred catties, and we have no right to collect it on behalf of others." Aunt Zhao said to the Wang family who was carrying the sack with an embarrassed face.

Hearing this, the Wang family looked anxious and helpless, and begged loudly, "But we have finished picking this, and we don't know if you don't want it, Sister Zhao, you can discuss it with Yao Yatou, this is about to pay taxes, and these two sacks of thorn roses may cost a lot of silver." ”

Since everyone knew that Lin Yao collected thorn roses for a pound and a penny in the morning, they all encouraged the family to pick thorn roses, Aunt Wang's family because they had just come back from the field, so they knew it later, but they didn't expect to be stuck here and couldn't sell it, and they couldn't help but feel a little worried, if this Yao girl really didn't want their thorn roses, they would be busy this morning, and they couldn't get a penny.

Aunt Zhao just wanted to reply to her when she saw Lin Yao coming, she immediately grinned and shouted at her, "Yao girl, you're here." Saying that, she rushed towards Lin Yao happily, and said with a smile, "Yao girl, my fierce son has helped you collect three hundred catties of thorn roses, just waiting for you to pick it up." ”

Although the entire Peach Blossom Village feels that the prickly rose is useless except for soaking in water and taking a bath when she is idle, this Yao girl is now smart and can do business, so the Zhao family also knows that Lin Yao has something to do, and he also helps her collect the thorn rose flowers with all his heart.

Lin Yao smiled at her, "Thank you Aunt Zhao for your help, thank you for your hard work." ”

Aunt Zhao listened to Lin Yao's words and suddenly felt happy, she smiled and waved her hand, "Hey, Yao girl, what are you polite to your aunt, don't you also give my family a salary, this is what we should do." ”

Lin Yao nodded with a smile, and then said to the Wang family behind Aunt Zhao, "Aunt Wang, leave all your thorn roses, I didn't think about it, let's have more." ”

Hearing this, the Wang family hurriedly looked at each other happily, and then stepped forward excitedly and said, "Yao girl, you are really kind-hearted, this is a great help to my family." ”

"Yes, this Yao girl didn't let Liu Meng pick the thorn roses, but she just wanted to help us, she is really a good girl with a good heart." Wang's husband also praised her.

Lin Yao smiled and didn't say anything, she asked Liu Meng to take the two sacks of thorn roses and weigh them, and then gave them thirty yuan by catty.

After the Wang family left, Liu Meng pointed to the pile of cut bamboo tubes in the yard and said, "Yaoyao, this is the bamboo tube I cut today, have you seen enough?" ”

Lin Yao glanced at his fingers, and suddenly felt shocked, this bamboo tube is piled up into a hill, how much bamboo did Brother Mengzi cut, sure enough, he was still that stupid big man, she said to cut more bamboo, and he tried his best to cut it.

Aunt Zhao on the side also looked at Liu Meng with a distressed face and said, "Yao girl, after my fierce son came back from your house, except for a meal at noon, he was cutting bamboo there, no matter how I persuaded him, I didn't stop trying to say that I got more wages, so I had to do more work for you." ”

Hearing this, Liu Meng scratched the back of his head a little embarrassedly, and said with a smile, "Mother, I'm not tired." ”

Aunt Zhao glanced at him, then pointed to the hole in Liu Meng's sleeve and said, "Eh, why is this broken again, take it off later, my mother will sew it for you, they are all young men, and I don't pay attention to my image day by day, so I can't marry a daughter-in-law in the future." ”

Listening to his mother's reproach, Liu Meng's heart bubbled with joy, and he smirked vigorously.

Lin Yao looked at it and couldn't help but feel happy for Brother Mengzi, this Aunt Zhao obviously began to care about Liu Meng, knowing that Brother Mengzi was really good to her and Uncle Bolt, and Brother Mengzi would not be that no one loved him in the future.

Lin Yao asked Liu Meng to help stuff the thorn rose and some bamboo tubes into the carriage, and then drove him to the town in the carriage.

On the way, Liu Meng sat next to Lin Yao, feeling the breeze blowing in his ears, and grinning widely, "Yaoyao, your carriage is really magnificent, it's the first time I've taken a carriage, it's really fast." ”

Lin Yao glanced at him with a smile, "What's this, Brother Mengzi, as long as you work hard, one day you will have a good life." ”

Hearing this, Liu Meng nodded heavily, "Well, I believe you Yaoyao." ”

The two came to the shop in the town, and Lin Yao called Liu Meng to get out of the carriage together.

"Brother Mengzi, look, this is my shop, and it hasn't opened yet." Lin Yao said as he led him to the shop.

Liu Meng was full of novelty and envy, "Yaoyao, you are so powerful, you should be the first person in our Peach Blossom Village to open a shop in the town, right?" ”

After Lin Yao entered, he found that Jiang Zimo was still reading a book behind the counter, and when he saw Lin Yao walking in, he hurriedly rushed over.

"What is this?" Seeing the sturdy and tall Liu Meng beside Lin Yao, Jiang Zimo asked with a puzzled face.

Lin Yao smiled and said to him, "This is my brother Mengzi, his name is Liu Meng, and I asked him to do some chores in our shop." ”

Saying that, Lin Yao smiled at Liu Meng and said, "Brother Mengzi, this is Brother Jiang, Jiang Zimo, he is a scholar, he is the shopkeeper and accountant of our shop, you will all be colleagues in the future, you have to get along well." ”

Liu Meng nodded and stretched out his hand to Jiang Zimo with a smile, "Hello, I'm Liu Meng." ”

Jiang Zimo also smiled and shook his head, stretched out his hand and held it, "Hello, Jiang Zimo." ”

After the two finished greetings, Jiang Zimo said to Lin Yao, "Miss Lin, just now the craftsman sent the custom-made plaque in our store, and I saw that there was no problem, so I paid the rest of the final payment." ”

Hearing this, Lin Yao was surprised, "Yes, where is the plaque?" Show me. ”

Jiang Zimo led Lin Yao around the table, and Lin Yao saw at a glance a huge and domineering black-on-gold plaque leaning against the wall, and the three big golden characters of drunken red face shone brightly under the refraction of the sun.

The delicate texture and decent lacquer color made Lin Yao couldn't help but touch it, and she couldn't help but secretly speak, "This ancient carpenter's craftsmanship is really not covered," It's much better than those modern plastic cloth shop signs."

Jiang Zimo on the side looked suspicious when he heard this, "Miss Lin, what did you say?" Ancient times? ”

Sensing his gaffe, Lin Yao hurriedly coughed dryly and said, "Hehe, nothing?" I'm just complimenting this plaque on how well it is done. Saying that, she said to Jiang Zimo again, "By the way, Brother Jiang, you go and help me move the thorn roses and bamboo tubes on the carriage to the backyard with Brother Mengzi." ”

Jiang Zimo nodded, "Okay." ”
